Speaking of Safari, here's some magic I wish it would get:
Being able to 'force quit' / kill / 'Stop Button' a single Tab which
is freezing Safari and ensuring a force quit. (Usually flash or video
going on but maybe it JS related I don't know). There goes all my
other tabs.

One possible improvement: have the execution + UI on separate
threads somehow. This way at least if it's looping you have some
chance of the stop button actually doing what it should. It won't
work in all cases, but might possibly work in some?
Separate threads would alleviate much of the problem -- you could
save your work, for example. But you _cannot_ arbitrarily terminate
threads (safely/cleanly). So an infinite loop means you'll have to
ideally change your work so that it's not doing that, save it, and
then quit/relaunch the app (so that the runaway thread goes away).
A huge improvement no doubt, but still a bit clunky. closing the
document wouldn't clean up the thread, so that's still a bit
difficult to convey.
(For the astute: yes, Safari warns you about run-away scripts. no,
they don't share that magic with anyone, unfortunately :().
QC certainly puts a temptingly simple face on some extremely
powerful (but very complicated) technologies :)
